101 Things to Do in Lincoln, Nebraska

“What is there to do in Lincoln, Nebraska?!” was a question I got asked a lot when I announced that I would be moving there for graduate school. As a 20-something coming to Lincoln from a larger city, I felt a bit at a loss. So, naturally, I Googled it. Lots of reviews of fancy restaurants came up, but nothing to really guide my exploration. No friendly, neighborhood young professional had taken the time to make a list, as they had in places like Milwaukee and Chicago. I panicked. Was I really going to be wandering the cornfields for the next two years?

Little did I know at the time, Lincoln would turn out to be an incredible place filled with lots of local treasures, great restaurants, and fun nightlife. Now, with all the new places popping up in town, making an all-inclusive list would be impossible. However, I have done my best to compile a list of area attractions that should keep you fairly busy year-round. In the nature of leaving things better than you found them, I present to you “101 Things to Do in Lincoln, Nebraska”:
